My wife and I played this one a LOT back in the day on the C64, and now I find myself playing it again on my iPod, enjoying it as much as the first time around! I remember with the original we used to get stuck somewhere close to the sword level (due to a bug), and I ended up having to fix the bug in the Basic code in order to continue. Never made it out of the dungeon alive, however (without tweaking the code to give me unlimited H.P. , so now I've got another chance! I have the April 2nd release, incidentally, and I haven't found a single glitch so far...

Jeff and crew,

I cannot stop playing this game! You did a fantastic job of keeping all the charm of the original, and updating it in every single subtle way possible.

So glad you had a chance to go back to this. I really hope it was worth it for you. I'm tickled pink.

I'd just like to say that I missed the second sale, and was annoyed, and then realised that if I was annoyed I must really want it. So I bought it for the full price and it's so far very addictive and is consuming my life! Awesome game. I've put other games on hold for now including NOVA and so on.

Brilliant, Brilliant.

I won't be buying it at this price. I'm sure it's good, and worth it, but I wasn't that keen on a Rougue style game anyway so. If it goes back on sale i'll snap it up on the off chance i might like it though.

In the UK app store it shows as £2.99 in the search, but on the game page it comes up at £1.19 still - and it STILL wont let me buy it!! Never had so much problem with an app before.

Well, the app did finally show up on the app store, but at a new price with no changes from any earlier version. I don't know how long the $1.99 deal was supposed to be there, however its back to $4.99.

I've been trying to purchase this for nearly 24 hours...anyone know why it keeps saying "This item is being updated"? This is a real blow for their sales.
